The legendary Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express has returned. The famed B3 and keyboard player, has created a distinct voice that combines jazz, rock, soul and funk, that is clearly recognizable to his millions of fans. With over 20 recordings to his name and lengthy stints on the RCA and Warner Bros. labels, Brian Auger has accumulated a Grammy Nomination, 10 albums charting in Billboards Hot 100, a #1 single, and the title of “The Godfather of Acid Jazz”. Brian’s bands over the years have featured Rod Stewart, Long John Baldry, Julie Driscoll and even Jimi Hendrix. In addition Brian has recorded with great luminaries as The Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Eric Burdon and Down To The Bone. The new incarnation of the Oblivion Express is a family affair featuring Karma Auger on drums and Savannah Auger on vocals, who live up to the Auger name and make the Oblivion Express smoke. Rave reviews and demands for return engagements follow this artist wherever he goes.


This is what they say…

“Brian Auger is one of the best B-3 artists I have ever heard in my life. His technique is awesome and the amount of energy he generates is unparalleled and relentless. He is a tremendous talent with a wonderfully warm and compassionate personality, a combination that is hard to beat. He deserves all the accolades.”
-Herbie Hancock

“Those who remain oblivious to the obvious delights of Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express do so at their own risk.”
-The Beastie BoysRead More

From 5000 nominations Salvo's got through to the
finals thanks to our regular customers and friends who put in a good word!




After numerous visits from various judges the big
man himself rolled up for a meal. Gordon seemed pleased with his meal but we
shall see what he said on Tuesday!





Salvo’s were invited to cook in the f...inals in London
and Gip must have got a bit giddy as he put his roll of knives on his car
bonnet and drove off, losing, amongst others, his lucky carbon steel paring
knife he has had since college in '73.




Watch Gip and Sous chef Chris 'Jacko' Jackson as
they do 'culinary battle' with the other last Italian standing in the F Word
kitchen as they cook for 50 diners who decide if they pay for the dishes cooked
or not.



Does Gip make a pig’s ear of the pig and how fast
can Jacko get stuffed with his tortelloni. I wonder if we shall get to see the...
erm 'joy and excitement' on Gip and Jacko's faces as they learn the dessert
they will be preparing is to be made to one of Gordon Ramsey’s own exacting
recipes.



Once again, massive thanks
go to all our customers and staff, past and present that have been supporting
Salvo's day in and day out, for the past 33 years to enable us to get to this
stageRead More

We are very happy that our customers who dine in the Salumeria with us enjoy leaving the chef to create a daily no choice menu. We get fantastic feedback and it is great to have such fiercely loyal clients who return again and again as the idea of turning up to a booked table while not knowing what’s for dinner is not ...to everyone’s taste(no pun!). The menu is generally very simple with the emphasis on good products, cooked well so 3 antipastini are followed by a plate of pasta then perhaps some meat or poultry cooked low and slow, the meal ending with a sweet thing.

In October we are trying an experiment where we shall endeavour to source all the ingredients within the Leeds postcode area for our Cenare dinners. There are a few obstacles to consider, the big one being the pasta, but we shall overcome!

Swillington Organic Farm raise livestock, produce honey and preserves and grow fruit, herbs and vegetables on 160 acres; everything here is naturally reared and organic. Our aim is to cook dinner on the week of 14th October using produce from the farm though we will be using some Italian condiments along the way
